This house was ideal for our vacation to the Black Hills. We had three families on the trip and the house accommodated our needs perfectly. The house was clean, there were toys for the kids, and the kitchen was great for cooking our own meals in the evenings. We would certainly stay here again!

We had a great stay and plenty of room and beds for our party of 12! Clean and comfortable, and close to town but just far enough way from town.

Wonderful Family Experience

Beautiful cabin setting close to Custer but far enough away from everything to enjoy campfires and porch swings. Our family and grandkids had a wonderful time and Cheryl and Frank were such great hosts! The banana bread was delicious

The old log home was awesome! Comfortable all around with mattresses being being very good. Wanted for nothing, stocked well. Water pressure was good and hot water plentiful. The picture online is deceiving as this is a large home with lots of room. Throughly enjoyed staying here.the photo is the view from the large patio.

This cabin is a wonderful place. It is peaceful even though it s fairly close to the highway it doesn’t feel like it. We loved our time . There were games to play and it is close to everything you want to experience in the Black hills. It has all the amenities needed. We arrived a bit early but it was not a problem. The owner was very gracious and let us check in. She was very friendly and kind.

Family Vacay

Excellent stay and location. FYI - there is air conditioning on the main level but not upstairs bedrooms, however it does cool off at night and having the windows open really brought the temps down and it was very comfortable (in June) Host was very welcoming and friendly - would highly recommend staying here!

Couples trip to side by side in the Black Hills

We loved our stay at the Blessing log cabin. It was roomy and comfy, with lots of space for us. The host & hostess are very accommodating & good to work with. Loved the homemade goodies they left for us. Would definitely recommend this property, the convenience of being close to town was a plus! Thank you Frank & Cheryl for sharing your beautiful property!!

Our first time staying in the awesome cabin. Check in was a breeze. Our host Cheryl is a gem. We spent a week with our family. Check out was also so easy. Would recommend this location any time. My husband is handicapped but we did well. We loved stargazing at night. This home is fully equipped for cooking or grilling:

Great cabin in a beautiful area!

Had a great time at this cabin. Loved the outdoor area, just wish it wasn’t so close to the main road. They had fun outdoor and indoor games for the kids, the kitchen had just about everything you would need. Cheryl was friendly and gave us a full tour of the cabin when checking in.
